During the reeent session of the Equal

The advent of spring has brought with it
the customary deficiency in the city treasury,
and . the consequent atmoyanee to parties hav
ing claims upon the corporation of being com
pelled to wait en. indefinete period for their
pay. A large number of % - arrants have been
drawn, over the ability of the city to meet,
and the persons obtaining them are put to the
unpleasant necessity of selling them at a
heavy discount, or keeping, them until the
money is provided for their redemption.
Among these are some who can poorly'afford
to pursue eithrr alternative, and, as might
be expected, there is a vast amount of com
plaint on the subject. We have had occasion
to call attention to this mode of conducting
the city finances every year since our con
nection with the °heartier, and, in doing so
once more, embrace the opportunity-Tro ex
press an earnest hope that it will be avoided
in the future. To say that it is entirely in
excusalde, and discreditable -to the city au
thorities, is merely to utter the common opin
ion of ail. who.are acquainted with the matter.
The credit of the city certainly cannot be so
low that it is unable to male arrangements
for obtaining the money necessary to meet
its present contingencies, and meantime, let
those who are entrusted with the duty of levy
ing the taxes hereafter to be collected see to
'it that enough is provided for to make the
Treasury secure anima any future deficits.
The publication of_ several bounty reports in
our columns affords us an occasion for calling
the attention of township auditors to the fact
that the law requires these statements to be
printed in the two county papers! having the
largest circulation. In several instances,
Radical auditors, in the excess of their parti
zan malignity, have deliberately violated this
clause of the act - and given the statements ex
clusively to papers of their own faith, not
withstanding it is generally known and ad
mittod that the Observer has the most eaten
sive'circulation of any journal in the county.
The law affixes a heavy penalty for violation
of its provisions, and it may be worth while
for auditors to keep that feature in remem
brance. It would seem that good faith alone.
if nothing else, would induce the auditors to
afford tax payers of both sides en opportunity
to read these statements.
Th. retention of Mr. ScoSeld'a friends in

was to oppose the impeachment of the Pre i=
dent on condition of retrining control of the
appointments d..ring his stay in Congress.
The story was generally behoved a' the time,
,and has received additional conii;mation in the
course pursued by the Administration , in dis
pesing of its offices in our district. Same of

A gentleman froin Girard, who is- intitnato
ly arquaiated with the business of Colonel .
Rice, info'rms us that the statement that he
receives' a salary of twenty-six thousand
dollars per year, so far from being an'exag=
aeration, is really less than the truth. The
actual pay that he gets is a., thousand dollars
a week and all expenses paid, during the sea
son, which usually lasts about thirty week..
and during the balance of the year he is ae
liberty to do what he pleases. As he usually
performs a couple of months in the large
cities, aside from his regular engagements,
this would give him an income of about $40,-
000 per annum,'and, we are told, that in
1865 he really received that amount of pay
fcr his services. With such a salary 'it
would seem an easy, matter for. Dan to soon
become a millionaire, but the adage "come
,:etisy, go easy" holds good in his case, as in
most others, and the end of the year often
,finds him - with,little ready cash remaining in
his. pocket.
. A correspondent of our daily cotemporary,
writing from Kane, on the Philadelphia road,
says : "The place is named in honor of Gen
Tlaothas Kane, who resides here, and who owns
about fourteen miles square of land in this
county. Quite a snug little farm; that." Yes,
but it detracts somewhat from the picture to
know that the whole fourteen miles are hardly
worth as much as an ordinary sized lake shore
tract. The - same correspondent says a hotel
is being built at Kane', which will cost not less
than $lOO,OOO. Wouldn't he be willing to
just take one 0 off, and' lei the story go at

Joseph Putnam. aged 71 years.
The deceased emigrated to this county in
the year 1815 from the State 'of New York.
Having participated in the war of 1812. as a
patriot soldier, it is not strange, that. he was,
daring the remainder of his life, ardently at
tached to the country his valor helped to
save. Devoted to his family, a quiet. peacea
ble citizen, esteemed and honored by thOse
who knew him most Intimately, sustained in
death. by a hope in Christ, surrounded by an
affectionate family that watched over him
with sleepless vigilance, during a severe and
protracted sickness, he passed away, we
humbly trust, to land where death is un
known. His funeral services were attended by
Rev. Thomas' Guy, Pastor of the M. E.
Church in that place. where he bad been as
to worship,for many years, and his
remains were laid away in the beautiful cem
etiy of North East to await the resurrection of
the just.
